This region offers something for all recreationists

Whether it’s open spaces for ATVing, golf courses for hitting the links or lakes for boating, Saskatchewan will offer something for all recreationists.
In Hudson Bay, check out Hudson Bay Regional Park, winner of the Park on the Move 2010 award.
“It’s got camping, picnic sites, playgrounds and ball diamonds,” said Elly Ferguson, the Town’s economic development officer. “There is a nine-hole golf course and the Red Deer Downs, which is a horse racing track.”
In Rocanville, head to the Town & Country Golf Club and try for a birdie or better.
The club hub
Riders who have been to Candle Lake during the winter know it’s an excellent place for sledding—but this resort community is a multi-season destination. Boating, golfing and a stay in a well-furbished cabin all make for a fun experience.
Candle Lake Golf Resort has an 18-hole course that appeals to all skill levels. Group or private lessons are offered, and there are a number of tournaments happening throughout the summer.
Fishing frenzy
Come July 3 and 4, anglers from across the prairies will be heading for Big River for the first Big River Walleye Classic, taking place on the waters of Delaronde Lake.
“Delaronde Lake is beautiful,” said Grace Snyder, one of the event’s organizers. “The water is so clean that there are still many who get their drinking water from it.”
Big River is well known for the variety of outdoor recreation available in the region.
“I don’t know where else you could live and have not only (excellent ATV and sledding trails) at your doorstep, but also a boat launch at the end of main street,” said Snyder.
Get muddy
The smell of rubber, the roar of ATV races and sun shining off pristine cars—all this and more can be found at ATV Mud Mania, happening at the Prince Albert Exhibition grounds on August 21. Visitors can watch ATV races or a demolition derby—while helping raise money for charity.
“What we’re having that day is in conjunction with Pines Services, one of the sponsors, and the Buckland fire department,” said Jim Barbondy, the director in charge of Mud Mania. “It is a fundraiser to raise money for some new equipment for the fire department.”
Barbondy said that this is the third annual Mud Mania, and that past events have been a hit with both participants and spectators.
See the cities
It’s easy to tour some of Saskatchewan’s largest cities by travelling from Regina to Swift Current to Saskatoon and back to Regina. This trip, taking about 10 hours, follows portions of the Trans-Canada Highway, as well as highways 4, 7 and 11. Riders can marvel at the diversity of the land; Saskatchewan has everything from wide open fields to boreal forests.
It’s easy to time a trip around an event and pull into Saskatoon on July 30 for the Ride the Bridges Rally. This event goes until August 2 and is packed with activities such as a poker rally, a pancake breakfast, a variety of rider courses and a show and shine. Riders can also participate in a ride to the scenic Waskesiu area.
